Medical equipment supplier opens third store

JOHNSTOWN - Walnut Medical Services celebrated the opening of its new Franklin Street location on Tuesday, with a ribbon cutting ceremony and open house.

Growing demand for the business products and services led to the opening of this seventh location, one of three new locations in the past year, said director John Kaiser.

Walnut Medical Services has been a supplier of home medical equipment since 1984, carrying products such as ambulatory and daily living aids, bath safety products, nutritional supplies and respiratory devices.

In addition to medical supplies and equipment, the lower level of the Franklin Street store houses Walnut Uniforms and Embroidery, a division created in 1997 that offers a full line of uniforms and workplace apparel for the medical community.

Walnut Medical's newest store is located at 1075 Franklin Street, across the Memorial Medical Center's South Campus and next door to Baker's Loaf Deli and Bread Market. Additional locations include Main Street in Johnstown, Ebensburg, Everett, Windber, Boswell and the Lewistown area. The business serves 18 counties in central and western Pennsylvania.
